Hi, My name is Sharon Wick
I am the Creator of Ohio Genealogy Express, however
I have ties in some counties in Indiana and other states.
I have decided to put my research data online for all others interested
in theses areas to see.

I am not going to do the whole state as I don't have time, however
I will be doing selected counties as I see fit.

I hope this helps everyone researching in these areas as I will, indeed,
help me in my own personal research.

Thanks for visiting.

NOTE:  A dragoon is a soldier intended primarily to fight on foot but trained also in horse riding and cavalry combat, especially during the late 17th and early 18th centuries when dragoon regiments were established in most European armies.  During the later 18th century and the Napoleonic Wars the majority of such units evolved into conventional medium and sometimes light cavalry.
     The word "dragoon" is derived from the French Army designation dragon which itself was originally the name of a type of firearm (whose name means dragon) carried by French dragoons.  In French and Spanish there is no distinction between the words dragoon and dragon.
